Item 8.01 Other Events

In previous SEC filings, IDT Corporation (the “Registrant”) disclosed that the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) had commenced an audit of the Registrant covering fiscal years 2001-2004 (the “IRS Review Period”). The Registrant also disclosed that management established tax reserves of $132 million representing its best estimate of additional amounts of taxes and interest the Registrant could be required to pay.

On June 19, 2008, after discussions with the IRS, the Registrant received notices of Income Tax Examination Changes from the IRS claiming that, for the IRS Review Period, the Registrant owed approximately $75 million in taxes for the period ending July 31, 2001 and approximately $1.0 million for adjustments carried forward to the years 2005 and 2006. These amounts do not include applicable interest.
